We specialise in a trauma therapy using a method called Traumatic Incident Reduction. this is an effective treatment for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and all other forms of trauma. It is a very fast - sometimes only taking one session for a single traumatic episode.
Trauma and PTSD are symptoms experiences due to an event or a series of events. Somatic therapy will guide and support the process of discharging the trauma from the body so that it doesn't affect one's present behavior any longer. It is not a life sentence.
I specialise in working with trauma and use a variety of approaches including internal family systems therapy and, parts therapy. I support you in feeling held in session and coming to a place of trust in yourself so that you bring your full self and experience into our therapy sessions. I have worked with sexual trauma and abuse, emotional and physical abuse, racial abuse and parental abuse/neglect.
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are unfortunately way more common than many people think. A strong link has been found my many studies between ACEs and physical and mental health problems in later life. Traumatic experiences can also take place in adolescence and adulthood. For some, the impact is greatly distressing and life-limiting, such as in the cases of having post-traumatic-stress disorder.
Many of the people I have come to work with have lived through often multiple adversities and traumatic experiences, throughout their lives. I offer a confidential space where we can think together about the way such experiences have affected you and the parts of you that can change and develop in order to integrate and move on from past traumas.
